Before you leave for prayer

Eid al-Adha is on 10 Dhul-Hijjah. Arrange your journey around the local congregation's announced time. Have wudu, wear clean suitable clothing and arrive early.

The sacrifice follows the Eid prayer, as described in Sahih al-Bukhari 951. Sacrifice is a separate act of worship; this course teaches the prayer. Check eligibility, arrangements and timing with your local scholar or trusted provider.

Hanafi guidance recommends delaying food until after this Eid prayer and saying takbeer audibly on the way. This differs from Eid al-Fitr. Guidance.
